Maintenance and service

NOTE

y

The air pressure in a tire increases

by approximately 4.3 psi (30 kPa, 0.3

kgf/cm

2

) when the tire becomes warm.

y

The tires are considered cold when

the vehicle has been parked for at least

three hours or has been driven less

than one mile (1.6 km).

Incorrect tire pressures detract from con-

trollability and ride comfort, and they

cause the tires to wear abnormally.

y

Correct tire pressure (tread worn

evenly)

Roadholding is good, and steering is re-

sponsive. Rolling resistance is low, so fuel

consumption is also lower.

y

Abnormally low tire pressure (tread

worn at shoulders)

Rolling resistance is high, so fuel con-

sumption is also higher.

Do not let air out of warm tires to ad-

just pressure. Doing so will result in

low tire pressure.
